A proposal to adopt a single-payer healthcare system for California took an initial step forward Thursday when the state Senate approved a bare-bones bill that lacks a method for paying the $400-billion cost of the plan.

The proposal was made by legislators led by Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) at the same time President Trump and Republican members of Congress are working to repeal and replace the federal Affordable Care Act.

“Despite the incredible progress California has made, millions still do not have access to health insurance and millions more cannot afford the high deductibles and co-pays, and they often forgo care,” Lara said during a floor debate on the bill.

This coming again from the LAtimes. Is it just me or do people not understand the economic catastrophe that this will cause? Alright for all of you small business owners that just love the idea of this liberal agenda let’s look north where small businesses are the driving force in Canadas economy. Oh wait small businesses can’t afford these kinds of things. California will go bankrupt as this passes and the rich will leave. Let them do it I say.

“With President Trump’s promise to abandon the Affordable Care Act as we know it — for one that leaves millions without access to care — California is once again tasked to lead,” he told his colleagues.

Who has been denied care? This is the question that always stumps liberals. Please show me one newspaper article or hospital reference where an ER has turned someone away? This is the same crap that no one can give me an answer to. What is so wrong to have to pay for a service someone provides? Why would someone want to become a doctor accrue a hundred thousand in student debt just to be told they are only ever going to make 25 dollars an hour? That is the reality of socialized medicine, doctors simply quit practicing in areas where they can’t make any money.

Something that I have been talking about is slowly coming to fruition, and it is going to be the biggest test of any president’s term. The problem however is that the federal government for many years has sat and intervened when it should have allowed the market to correct itself. This coming from zerohedge.com

While many “conventional” indicators of US economic vibrancy and strength have lost their informational and predictive value over the past decade (GDP fluctuates erratically especially in Q1, employment is the lowest this century yet real wage growth is non-existent, inflation remains under the Fed’s target despite its $4.5 trillion balance sheet and so on), one indicator has remained a stubbornly fail-safe marker of economic contraction: since the 1960, every time Commercial & Industrial loan balances have declined (or simply stopped growing), whether due to tighter loan supply or declining demand, a recession was already either in progress or would start soon.

Last week I talked about how home buying is slowing down, mostly due to overvalued homes. Now it is starting to hit the commercial market there are many different factors that contribute to this. However seeing as this will likely push us into a recession it is time for us as a people to realize that government intervention in the free market needs to come to an end.

Think of how stagnant wages have been in the industry you work in. If you need to look it up it would not hurt for you to realize that you need to start investing in yourself to learn a new skill or multitude of skills.

Should the current rate of loan growth deceleration persist – and there is nothing to suggest otherwise – the US will post its first negative loan growth, or rather loan contraction since the financial crisis, in roughly 4 to 6 weeks.

An interesting point on loan dynamics here from Wolf Richter, who recently wrote that a while after the 1990/1991 recession was over, the NBER determined that the recession began in July 1990, eight month after C&I loans began to stall. “As such, the current seven-month stall is a big red flag. These stalling C&I loans don’t fit at all into the rosy credit scenario. Something is seriously wrong.”

However, it wasn’t until loan growth actually contracted, that the 1990 recession was validated. Well, the US economy is almost there again. And this time it’s not just C&I loan growth, or lack thereof, there is troubling.

I have spoken about how more than one market is about to make its crash and it looks like commercial loans is going to take a hit. Recessions can either be extremely large or they can barely be noticed, however we have seen that every time the government kicks the can down the road as it did with the TARP bailouts. We will just have to wait and see what this will look like in the weeks or months to come.

About

Thomas Jefferson knew that a populace needed to be adequately educated and informed for freedom and liberty to flourish. Sadly, the vast majority of American are sorely lacking on both counts.
Schools are supposed to provide the education, and a free press was the means that the people were to be informed on the events of the day.
Both of those institutions are in a dismal state, as the government dumbs down Americans through the Department of Education, and the mainstream media has evolved into nothing more than the propaganda arm of the statists.
Our goal is to provide a place where people can find information without it being filtered by the gatekeepers of propagandists.
